New build completed, but second hdd not recognised by os?

Q:New build completed, but second hdd not recognised by os?

Hi I just completed my second homebuild, I installed windows 7 pro and have been running it for over two weeks now, (got it pre release from msdna for free, thats right free, gotta love being a student, as many copies of 7, vista, xp and visual studio, and tons of other cool software for nada.)

it works great, so far I haven't seen the cpu go over 8% you through stuff at it it gives you a blank look and shrugs, it took a virus scan, dreamweaver, word and a few web pages (chrome) at 8% for god's sake. Anyway i'm very pleased with it.

BUT it only lists one hdd in the my computer section and that is the drive that i installed windows on, I don't know if the other one is formatted or not, I would say not, the bios recognises both of them, but my computer displays only one, i have not used raid in any form. Whats the solution?

Thanks alot, bob.

A: New build completed, but second hdd not recognised by os?

you shoud try this :
On "My Computer" Icon right click it and click MANAGE, click on DIsk Management..you may find your C: drive as Disc 0. Then look if you find drives that is unallocated..if you find it, click on the on it, right click and format the drive and click ok..just wait to make a 100% and you should after that it is healthy and formatted and you should the other drives now..try this tnx

Finally got mobo to recognise my soundcard - Audigy 2ZS. Now comp is quite unstable. Keeps crashing of own accord. Sometimes rebooting, other times to completely unresponsive state with display frozen, sometimes to blackscreen and have to hold on button in till machine shuts off.

When I restart I have lost sound. Card not listed in device manager. Computer still crashing randomly.

If I leave the computer turned off for a good couple of hours, sometimes when I restart the sound has returned and card is recognised in devices.

You didn’t mention if your sound card is built into the motherboard or is an add-on card. I'll assume it’s an add-on. I would check to make sure the sound card is seated firmly in the slot, or another option would be to try another slot. Perhaps the one you have the sound card in is bad. Also, you may want to uninstall the driver for the sound card and download a new one from the manufacture’s website.

You also mention that your mouse pointer jumps all over the screen. Usually when this happens to me, it means the battery's are starting to run out and need replaced. Also, try moving the receiver as far away from the monitor, speakers and tower. Interference from any of these devices can play havoc with the signal.

Having successfully performed a 3 hour chkdsk by means of a downloaded microsoft program which did this automatically, the screen is left hanging and there is no option available to exit from it. I tried switching off and then on again but this just puts me back to the start of the chdsk routine which then completes again. So I'm stuck in a loop from which I can't escape !! What do you recommend ?

A:After chkdsk has completed

Hello ,

here is a shot in the dark

turn your system on & then back off

then un plug your system

them push your power button as if you wanted to start it and hold it for a count of 10

this will clear the compleat system of power and maybe reset way your system starts / you may want to reset the bios also by crossing the bios jumpers or just pulling the litheum battery from your mother board for at least 3 minutes

then try your system

you may be looking at wipeing the driver & reinstalling

have you tried to get into the recovery console useing the Windows XP cd ?

Also soft resert on handheld although problem developed in computer before could sync to there. There is no problem in connection of handheld with computer..just will not sync. Any help much appreciated as cannot download or sync any material to handheld(iPAQ3835) at all.Thanks!!! John

I have a couple of Word 7 files which can't be moved, deleted or renamed. Any attempt results in a message: This action cannot be completed as it is in use by another program. It is not in use by any program I am aware of. When I open the file, it says (Read Only) in the title bar but the properties dialogue boxes are not checked as read only. Of course, I can't save any changes to the file unless I go to 'save as' but that still leaves me with an undeletable/uneditable file. I am using Vista Ultimate. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Joan

A:This action cannot be completed...

Unless you're particularly interested in the mechanics of why this might be happening, I'd suggest booting to safe mode (press the F8 key early during Windows startup) and moving or deleting the files from there. You probably won't have trouble deleting the files that way.

Good evening..i have just completed the combofix scan on my Openlabs Neko TSE. Which is my music workstation with a built in computer. Please can you review my log for further advice.? I really appreciate you for this. This workstation is the key to all my productions. I have been freaking out all night. Aloha!

Finally got my gaming rig built and in perfect working order. Took me a while figure out how to put my two HDD into raid 0. One of the tech support guys at EVGA helped me out and said that HDDs have a hard time going into raid array if they have never been used, which was the case. I just installed some stuff on my two HDDs and reformatted the partition and BOOM it stopped giving me errors, LOL. Anywho here is the finished build:

When I looked at the Case for the first time I couldn't believe how big it was, plenty of room to work in. The Scythe fans sound like a tornado when I first turn on the computer but it gets quite once the bios and PSU start regulating them and you can't notice it when playing games or listening to music. I bought a generic filter for the intake fan and realized that it wasn't needed because the case already comes with filters that you just slide off and wash.

This was my first build ever and I must say I'm quite pleased with the results. The bios defaulted the memory at 800mhz 1.9v so I bump... Read more

The computer shut itself down a few days ago while it was copying for files.Then, it behaved abnormally after restart.A back to the factory status recovery was performed, but it did not complete the task.The last part of the recovery did not run.The recovery disks, burned right after the purchase of the machine and used before, were used and they ended the same way.The last part of the recovery did not run.

Now I have to save up my pennies to get myself a better processor, I have an AMD Athlon XP Pro 2000 and was wondering what i should replace it with?

There's a fair ammount of choice out there so i was wondering if anyone has any recomendations?

A:Just completed an upgrade

Nice speed jump!
Upgrading always starts with budjet. If you are going to keep your Mb , then simply buy the best (fastest) CPU you can afford at the time.If you are saving pennies you will probably be able to get the quickest cpu your mb can handle.

I just started using Microsoft 2010 and in the Outlook tasks I have created recurring tasks. In the old XP version when I completed a recurring task, the completed task would move to the top of the list. Now, it just puts it below the original task. Is there a way to automatically move completed tasks to the top of the page?

I have a tri-boot setup. Windows 8 one ssd, windows 7 pro on a second ssd and ubuntu 13.04 on a partition on a 2 gig raid 1. The boot partition is on the windows 7 ssd. All drives are on the same Intel controller. Prior to the 8.1 attempt it worked. I'd boot the w7 ssd and a black win7 style boot screen would appear with the 3 OS choices. I'd been using win 8 as primary since it's release with no real issues.

I updated through the store early today and the process had a hitch after the first reboot but I rebooted and it completed the install. Windows 8.1 started and walked me though an initial setup. Once in, all looked pretty much unchanged. The only issued was it asked me to reinstall some XLan software.

I rebooted to check my other OS's and the problems began. I boot up, it loaded the blue win8 boot screen with all 3 OS present when I attempted to boot ubuntu it went to a black screen with no possible input. Hard rebooting brought up the grub bootloader (not win8 bootscreen) and I was able to enter ubuntu. Same thing happened with win 7 pro. I soft rebooted and the win 8 bootscreen appeared. Choosing win 7 took me to a hung black screen - hard reboot directly started up win 7. Restarting to win 8 bootscreen again and choosing win8.1 took me to another black screen - Hard reboot from there started up a win 8 repair process.

This is always the case with each of the 3 OS's. I have found that I can get into win8 if I enter through safe mode ... Read more

A:8.1 update completed but problematic

I have the exact same problem. I even had the XLan error you described. Once I restarted the computer, it always go to a black screen. I do not have multiple OS's to boot into, but the black screen always comes up after the little blue windows 8 loading screen.

If you get your issue solved, please report back.

Update:

When I tried your suggestion of enabling Debugging, it loaded up. However, 1-2 minutes later it would freeze and I would have to push the reset button on the machine. In Safe Mode, I didn't have any of the freezing, but when I tried to uninstall Norton Internet Security, it would freeze. After a restart, I downloaded the Norton Removal Tool, and removed Norton. At this point, starting Windows 8.1 with Debugging allows me to stay freeze-free. However, trying to start up without Debugging gives me the same black screen.

Another thing to note is that when I have all non-Microsoft services stopped, I still get the black screen upon bootup. I'm not quite sure what Debugging mode does in terms of bootup, but its definitely a workaround for now. I used msconfig.exe to keep debugging turned on for now.

A:New netbook setup not completed,

Hello, Thank you for posting in the HP Support forum. Is this re. Windows login ? You can't login to Windows? If yes, I have encounter such a problem once only but was with Win 8. Anyway - if this is a new computer you can revert the software back to factory default settings. Eventually you should create a local account (not login with Microsoft account). At the end, you can always migrate the local account to Microsoft account. If this is not re. Windows login, please provide back details.

The action can?t be completed because the folder or a file in it is open in another program. I suspect that my anti virus, Norton 360, is stopping me from deleting a specific folder, it happens only in one specific folder.When I restart my computer, it takes time to the regular background tasks to "wake up", so I can delete it once the computer turns on, but then something stops me from deleting the folder. I am not sure if it is Norton 360, or another problem.Would it be a Malware?

not positive what it could be ,anything knowing computers .to see if its Norton 360. disconnect from intern ,disable Norton360 temporally ,how to do so will be in the settings of Norton , after its disable try deleting file.

just found this in google ,how to disable Norton temporally .

Try right clicking on the 360 icon in your notification area. You should be able to disable protection features for a specified time. Remember that you are unprotected while doing this, so you should disconnect from the Internet while doing this. Remember to reset the protection when you are finished.

I am using SQL Server 7.0.I have databases DB1 (only current values) and DB2 (both current and old - keeps history). When I update (or insert), on DB1, a copy of the row I am working on has to be sent to DB2 using a trigger. What gets completed first? The update process on DB1 or the action started by the trigger? I am asking this because of what I found at this site:

…..You can use the FOR clause to specify when a trigger is executed: AFTER The trigger executes after the statement that triggered it completes. If the statement fails with an error, such as a constraint violation or syntax error, the trigger is not executed. AFTER triggers cannot be specified for views, they can only be specified for tables. You can specify multiple AFTER triggers for each triggering action (INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE). If you have multiple AFTER triggers for a table, you can use sp_settriggerorder to define which AFTER trigger fires first and which fires last. All other AFTER triggers besides the first and last fire in an undefined order which you cannot control.

AFTER is the default in SQL Server 2000. You could not specify AFTER or INSTEAD OF in SQL Server version 7.0 or earlier, all triggers in those versions operated as AFTER triggers.

…..

This statement sounds confusing?

A:Which is completed 1st? a transaction or a trigger?

Enforcing Business Rules with TriggersMicrosoft® SQL Server™ 2000 provides two primary mechanisms for enforcing business rules and data integrity: constraints and triggers. A trigger is a special type of stored procedure that automatically takes effect when the data in a specified table is modified. A trigger is invoked in response to an INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE statement. A trigger can query other tables and can include complex Transact-SQL statements. The trigger and the statement that fires it are treated as a single transaction, which can be rolled back from within the trigger. If a severe error is detected (for example, insufficient disk space), the entire transaction automatically rolls back.This means that the trigger completes before the transaction, you can rollback a transaction within a trigger as mentioned above so in your case the action started by the trigger completes before the update action.

I completed 1 RMA with HP and the teleplan service center guys sent me the machine back with the note - no issues found, reloaded OS. This time they loaded the OS with SATA controller as IDE as opposed to the default RAID setting that had come when I had purchased the system.

I let it run overnight hoping for the best but see the BSOD error in morning - I would really appreciate if somebody can pin point the issue so in the next RMA I can advise HP Teleplan guys about it - they seem to not spend great deal of time researching the issue but try to do a quick fix that obviously didn't work.

Your dumps indicate conflicts and memory corruption. Uninstall Symantec using this removal tool: Tool. Many third party security programs create conflicts with Win 7 and Norton is no exception. Norton was involved in one of the crashes. Download and install Microsoft Security Essentials. It will not cause conflicts. Make sure Windows firewall is turned on.

Uninstall or upgrade CyberLink. Its driver, 000.fcl, Fri Sep 26 09:11:22 2008, is out of date. Outdated drivers can and do cause conflicts and BSOD's.

I find another slightly out of date driver loaded on your system. Update this driver from the link provided.

Hi, I just built a new computer, and it's running XP Pro 64-bit. It ran fine for the first week, but now I'm getting a problem everytime I open "My Computer". Instead of showing my drives, it does the search animation. After a minute or two, it will either find all the drives, or it will say something like "This operation could not be completed because (something) is being used by another program." and gives me two options: "Retry", or "Switch To". When I click "Switch To" it opens my "Start" menu.

A (possibly) related problem is when I open IE, I get shown a set-up menu, but when I click "Save Changes" the webpage hangs. I can bypass this and use the internet fine though. Also, my computer randomly hangs sometimes when playing games.

I'm pretty disappointed with all these errors on what was supposed to be my fresh computer... Any help is appreciated.

A neighbor brought over his computer since he knows I help folks with infections. It appears he already ran and removed infections found with SAS Portable and MBAM. I can include those logs if you like so let me know.

I've run CHKDSK on a couple of laptops today, and in each case, after hanging for ages around 10-11%, the laptop rebooted while my back was turned. (The process was run at boot and the internet was not connected at the time.)

Is there a way to check if the process completed and what it did?

There is a CBS log with today's date, with entries that correspond time-wise to the CHKDSK activity, but I don't understand them. At the end there are several entries like this:

Can anyone explain what this means please, and if I have a problem?

Coincidentally (or not) There are similar 'Failed to internally open....' entries in the CBS log from when I turned the laptop back on later in the morning.

A:How do I know if CHKDSK completed successfully?

Hi, check this tutorials CHKDSK - Check a Drive for Errors in Windows 8 and Check Disk (chkdsk) - Read Event Viewer Log - Windows 7 Help Forums to see if they will help you.

I recently had a virus and used HP recovery and now I don't have any sound. I originally posted this in the sound card forum and was instructed by deejay100six to go through the five steps of identifying a virus. I completed those steps and below is my Panda Scan results. I have the hijackthis results when ever you need them. I originally went through all of the basic steps to fixing the sound problem but nothing worked. Thanks again in advance.

However, I am still getting pop-ups and adware related problems, which means that the underlying problem has not been resolved. These are the programmes that I have run (today, 18/05/2015):-RogueKiller-Mbar-AdwCleaner (it removed NickelBlock, AllCheeiaPPPriCe, DowwnSaave, SaVieNeewaApupoz)-Junkware Remover-Farbar Recovery Tool-Farbar Security Scanner-Security Check-Tempfile Cleaner

I am currently running Sophos.My laptop runs Windows 8.1, and Combofix does not support it.The antivirus that I have is Kaspersky (I previously had Microsoft Security Essential), and Windows Defender. The malware was not detected by a Kaspersky and Spybot full scan a few days ago. However, on the 26th of April, I manually uninstalled some adware, and then ran full scans, which showed nothing.

As you can imagine, I don't think I have many options left, and formatting my laptop is a dreadful prospect. I was wondering if you could give me some advice. I have kept all logs of the security programmes that I've run.

Thank you in advance, and looking forward to hearing from you.

Recently, i have had a problem with my system restore. After i attempt a restore, the computer reboots fine and acts as if it did the restore, but when i sign it, i get a messege saying system restore incomplete, or something along those lines. I decided to check the sr.inf file, right clicked and clicked install, but it said i need a windows XP sp3 cd, and i only have the original SP2 cd, not Sp3. Also i'm not sure if that will even fix the probem, has anyone else seen this problem? any help would be greatly appreciated!

The Temp folders should be cleaned out periodically as installation programs and hijack programs leave a lot of junk there. Download CleanUp! (Alternate Link if main link don't work) and install it. Do not run it yet.

Before doing anything, MAKE SURE that you can keep your computer on (at least until we get it fixed). This infection requires us to detect and remove it without rebooting or restarting your computer (unless the instructions say so). If you can't keep your computer on today, then I suggest that you don't get the logs yet until you are ready. With that said (when ready):

Open up HijackThis and go to Config->Misc Tools and check the first two boxes there. Now click on the Generate StartupList log button. Post that log in your next post.

Right click on this link and choose Save As...Save it to your Desktop. Make sure you have disabled any programs that may block/disable scripts (ex: Ad-Watch, TeaTimer, Norton, etc.). Double click on Silent Runners to run it. This will take a few minutes. It will create a file called Startup Programs followed by your computer name and current date. Open up that file and post all the contents here in your next post.

every single time I try to rename a folder the boring message "The action can't be completed because the folder or the file is in use" appears even if apparently neither the folder or a file in it is in use.

What I have to do is: Task Manager > Explorer.exe > End Process > File > New Task > Explorer.exe and I am able to rename the folder.

It is a really boring process and I find this process really stupid. The folders I am trying to rename are full of pictures, I think it is something related to the Thumbs files.

Anybody of you have the same issue? Any possible solution?

I apologize if this forum is meant for tech people as I'm a novice computer user, but I really need help. I have Windows 7 x64 and I used RoboCopy for the first time, and have messed up royally. I was trying to copy folders and files from my
computer to an external hard drive. My external hard drive had important files and folders on it already, and I thought that copying more data using RoboCopy would just add to it, but it deleted everything that was on the external hard drive when it
copied the additional data.
Can I undo what just happened? Is there any way to revert? Or maybe there's some way to recover that deleted data?
I used: Robocopy C:\Users\Name\Documents F:/MIR /dcopy:T
I would be really grateful to be helped. Thanks in advance.

When I am trying to organise my music files and folders in my music Library I randomly get this error:

The action can't be completed because the folder or a file in it is open in another program.

But there can be nothing else open, no media player, (neither WMP or Media Monkey which I usually use), or any other window open at all. This is intermittent. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.

For example; I just discovered that I have a Chris De Burgh folder with a couple albums in it and another folder titled Chris De Burgh - Greatest Hits. I decided to move the latter into the former and rename the latter to simply Greatest Hits. At first it wouldn't copy into the Chris de Burgh folder at all and the dreaded error came up. I clicked on another folder, went back and tried again and it worked. After putting the CDB-GH folder into the CDB one I tried to rename it, (without opening it). The action can't be completed blah blah blah. Retry doesn't work. This time I had to close windows explorer and open it again and browse to the folder and rename it.

Sometimes it works first go, sometimes you have to click elsewhere then come back to it, sometimes you have to close explorer, sometimes it simply refuses until I restart the pooter. I've tried deleting everything in the temp folder, (%temp%) but there are files in here which won't delete either coming up with the same message. I guarantee that the f... Read more

I got my P50 a few weeks ago and yesterday its LCD went half black. OK, this happens.I turned it into authorized premium repair center and they got LCD replaced (as my P50 is under warranty). No big deal.However, they could not re-calibrate the new LCD screen because I do not run Windows on my P50 (running Kubuntu).It would not be a big deal either (the Panel Replacement Utility they have does not run on Linux, but I can live without that), however there is one worrying thing: by my request, they printed Lenove repair instructions for me where it is stated, that "Failing to run the Panel Replacement Utility program will require another LCD panel replacement". Please note "will require". My interpretation of this statement is that LCD will fail again unless I run this Panel Replacement Utility which requires Windows (not Linux version exists). Repair guys could not comment on that in either direction.REALLY????So, despite the fact that nor P50 user guide nor warranty description limit me from using non-Windows OS, the P50 cannot be repaired to be used in full capacity unless I use Windows.Do I miss anything? Is this an official position of Lenovo on non-Windows OS use on ThinkPad P50?

I had a problem with my yoga 700 11". The laptop freezes every so often (3-6 hours). At first I thought it's the drivers that need to be updated, then Windows 10 updates, then BIOS update.I tried all of that but the problem still persisted. I did the recovery reset but still the same... I created Linux system on USB flash drive and booted the laptop with it. Even under Linux the laptop was freezing.I contacted lenovo support team and they said the laptop needs to be repaired and they send me the return free postage vocher. I put my laptop in the original box and posted it as I was instructed (for some reason it was send to Germany). The company name that issued me with the postage slip was MEDION AG - A Lenovo CompanyAfter 13 days I got an email saying:"...After assessing your device, the repair center has deemed that a repair cannot be completed under the manufacturer?s warranty due the case of the device showing signs of inappropriate treatment. ..." There were two pdf documents attached to the email. one with the detailed photos of the damage ( see photo attached) and the other one, the cost estimate document. In the document I was given two options:1. accept the cost of repair (£54.65)2. not accept and the laptop would be return to me (I would be still charged fat price of £44.07)My reply was that I do not recall the laptop having this damage and I always looked after it.

I have a Word 2007 form template that is locked so that the users can fill in the forms, but there are several areas of the form where the user can input addresses and they will need to copy these addresses after the form is filled out in order to make mailing labels, so I need some code or a macro to unprotect the form so that they can copy the addresses. I don't want to show them how to manually unlock forms because some of them can get pretty creative and I don't want them changing the ORIGINAL form template.

Press F8 at bootup. In the Advanced Boot menu try Safe Mode. Then you can do a System Restore to a time before this happened. If this also fails, if you have an XP CD boot off of that and get to the Recovery Console here type chkdsk /R and press enter. Check Disk will test the integrity of the HDD and files. It may take a while. If you don't have an XP CD on another computer, download the ISO image for Seatools in my signature. Burn the image to CD using IMGBurn also in my signature. Boot off of the newly created CD and run the quick and long test on the HDD. If either test fails, the HDD needs to be replaced.

Today I keep getting this famous window popping up in the middle of my screen and no matter how many times I reboot it reappears again. I know you've had threads on this before but I thought I should post a log from Hijack This in case my version is specific:

Hi Douglasbradley,

Welcome to Vista Forums!

I must say you have me somewhat confused. I need your help clarifying the situation with more information and by answering some questions.

How exactly did you "install" Vista from safe mode? What exactly did you do (and what exactly are you trying to do and why are you trying to do it)? I don't quite understand the situation. Could you please explain in detail exactly what you are attempting, why you are attempting it, how you are attempting it, and the situation at the moment. What are you using to do the installation (a genuine Vista Installation CD, a Recovery Disk, a Recovery Partition, or what)? What method of installation are you using? What type of installation are you trying to do? Why are you trying to do it from Safe Mode (and can you get into safe mode now or are you unable to do so any longer)?

Just wanted to add my story, similar to above. Product# F3F15UA#ABA, 10" Pavilion notebook. Win 10 Anniversary Edition update will not install. Machine gets to 32% and then locks up completely; grey blank screen. Have to unplug and remove battery to shut down. After powering back, automaticaly recovered to previous version of Win 10 (1511). Machine now almost unusable since it spends all day re-downloading the update files and then doing an automatic update reboot every evening. This has happened 4 times already; now keeping it in airplane mode. Was on MS Assure service for hours. 2nd tier guy said to just wait for MS to come out with a revised version of the update. Tried installing MS registry update fix (MSI) issued 10/5, but did not fix the problem. I have a completely clean machine, all drivers up-to-date, nothing installed except Office 365 and 7-Zip. Installed Win 10 1511 as a complete replacement (OS and all apps) a few months ago and performance improved tremendously. Except for this update problem, after the OS replacement PC works very well (for a slow, under-memory PC). I mainly use it to take to meetings to give PowerPoint presentations, for which it works just fine. I never do email with it or download apps. Above reply suggests updating from a USB after a image backup. Can try that to see if I get a better result, but wonder if it would be better to skip "update" and, i... Read more

@DerbyDad03 provided the following code, which I amended the targets to suit my personal needs:Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) If Target.Column = 1 Then If Target = "Closed" Then Application.EnableEvents = False If Target = "Moved" Then Application.EnableEvents = False nxtRow = Sheets("Closed").Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row + 1 Target.EntireRow.Copy _ Destination:=Sheets("Closed").Range("A" & nxtRow) Target.EntireRow.Delete End If End If Application.EnableEvents = TrueEnd SubThe code works for my spreadsheet when I select 'Closed' in Sheet 1, moving it to Sheet 2 perfectly. Any chance anyome could show me an amended code to prompt more than one word (target) to move a row to another sheet? Using the above example, when 'Closed' or 'Moved' is selected from a drop down list, the row moves to another sheet. Appreciate it.

This is kind of driving me a bit bonkers now, as I am trying to organize the files on my system, and am consistently butting heads against this problem. It always seems to be the last file I highlight. In other words.. I have two directories open on the screen, and am simply looking to drag files/folders from one directory to another. To do this, you almost always have to highlight the folder you want to move, and doing this seems to put a lock on that folder. If I highlight more folders, it seems to be ok, except for the last one I highlight will always fail to copy.

Any way to prevent windows from locking files in this way?

Just installed new 48 speed burner--newly completed CD's when played on a multi disc STEREO, upon completion just stops and will not move automatically to play the next cd. I am using another writer (16 speed ) as a CD ROM and when cd's are made on that writer , it works correctly. Existing CD's move properly .

Speed works properly except that it only gives me options up to 40 speed even when I insert a 46 speed media-- that's not a big problem unless it relates to the above major problem---

I am using ROXIO 5 software on XP with 2.4 g cpu

Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Ralph

A:Completed burned CD Play PROBLEM

Make sure you set it up to close the disk.

It isn’t that unusual for the burner to analyze the CD and decide it shouldn’t be burned at the speed on the CD media box. It would be unusual if the media was Taiyo Yuden, Sony or Fuji, but not so for rebadgers who grab whatever is cheap like TDK, Imation, Maxell or a long list of discounted El Cheapos.

I am helping a friend who is a not very experienced PC user with Windows 7 on her HP Pavilion desktop - I am somewhat more experienced but still not an expert. She thinks she inadvertently accepted the suggestion on her screen to convert to Windows
10. She had not intended to do that and I think she subsequently switched the machine off to prevent it from continuing although she is unclear about that. Afterwards every time she switched the PC on she was faced with messages saying the system
was attempting to repair itself but it kept failing to do that and effectively looping round options. i have tried loading a Wndows 7 recovery disc and it reports that it can only see a Windows 10 system on the hard drive. Eventually I used the
recovery disc to set up a new version of Win 7. It now shows me two previous Windows folders Windows.old and Windows.old000
The Windows.old000 appears to be her previous Win 7 so I guess the Windows.old is the failed attempt at Windows 10.
She did not have much on her system other than Microsoft Office and Norton. All she really wants is to get either her previous Win 7 working again or for her version of Office to work on the new Win 7 I have installed. I have not tried to run
any of the Office suite as I am guessing they will say they are not registered on the new version of Windows and I do not want to possibly change what might still work on the old version.

I have had a read of the alot of forums including this one and noticed a few people having similar issues however no solid solutions have been offered.
Many claim the problem relates to malware but i see no evidence of that.

I have recently moved into a new place and have connected to a freedom plus cable internet account with Optus in Australia, They have supplied me with a wireless netgear cable modem (CG814Wg v3) and a Netgear Wireless USB adapter (WG111 v2) However I am currently connected to the modem with an Ethernet cable.

A:Completed the 5 step Logging Procedure Now after your help :)

During boot up this morning I opened device manager and ended the process tree on Explorer.exe and then started it again. Since doing so I have not dropped out yet, However the net is still running rather slow.

So I finally got everything ready for a complete format and reinstall. Everything went smooth but now im stuck with no drivers. Figures i found the program that backs up your drivers after i finished it. Anyways, i went to the Dell site(own a dimension 3000) on my laptop and downloaded the driver restore tool onto my thumb drive. I used to program on my desktop and it recognized that the hardware didn't have drivers but then didn't restore anything. Can someone help me out here and maybe point me in the correct direction to find my drivers. Thanks.

And by completed the steps i mean i wasnt able to partially do any of the five steps

Step 1: I cant access the add/remove programs option on the control panel, it comes up with this message.

This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the folder options control panel.

Step 2: I cant use email on the computer, keeps saying cookies are disabled even though i put it to allow all.

Step 3: Well i never cleaned the system so why bother trying to install these programs? I probably wouldnt be able to install them anyway.

Step 4: When i go to the update site, it says it cant continue because one of the following programs isnt working
Automatic Updates
BITS
event log
i follow there directions, my computer refuses to allow me to enable automatic updates

Step 5: im not downloading that program because the way it looks im gonna have restore my system

Force browser processes to closeIf a tab, window, or extension is not working properly, you can use the task manager in either Chrome or Windows to force it to close. Chrome uses a "multiple processes architecture", which means its processes are designed to work independent of one another. So issues in one tab shouldn’t affect the performance of other tabs or the overall responsiveness of the browser.

In many ways, the task manager is like a hospital monitor: you can use it to track the performance of its internal processes. If the browser seems to be sluggish, open the task manager to find details about each active process and close the one that seems to be using up a lot of resources.

Computer goes through it's diagnostics, Dell splash screen, and finally the complete desktop appears. After 15 seconds, the computer shuts down. The power is still on as I can open and close the dvd tray. After waiting approx. 30 minutes, I am able to start the computer and the same thing happens. I have tried replacing the main power supply and the main fan circulation air over the CPU. Any ideas or suggestions?

This is a reload. It says that is incompatible. It fixes that, supposedly. I make a new call and the disconnection is repeated. This is the problem details: Any suggestions? I've already reloaded twice.

Having a problem with Skype too. Seems that every time I make a video call, the program crashes as soon as the call connects.I tried to send them feed back and it was telling me I have no internet connection. I clearly have an internet connection. In fact, I'm chatting to someone right now on Skype. However, I can only use text though. As soon as I connect a video call, the whole program crashes.

She was cleaning up old files on her machine.. And seems to have cleaned way too much.

Now, when she tries to use the add printer wizard, she gets 'Operation Could Not be completed'. I checked Microsoft, and got info on the spooler not running. Trying to start the spooler (which DOES show stopped) get's a 1068 error.

I'm NOT an XP person (She's got XP Home).. and she's in another state, so I'm helping via the phone... We've been trying to use the Restore, but it keeps failing, and suggesting we try a different restore date/time.

On older systems, I'd know what to do, but under XP, I have no clue.. Any ideas? Or even ideas where to start?

Thanks!-*edit*Oh! It's a cannon printer (not that she's getting far enough for it to be relevant), and she's tried using the install CD that came with the printer, only to have it tell her that installation has failed.

-Thanks!

============================

Yeah! It's resolved... But, for posterity, I figured I should say how...

When she was deleting the programs, there were a few things that she though were old, but she couldn't get rid of for some reason. So she changed (don't shudder) them from .exe files to .old files.

When looking at the Spooler, and the dependancies and such, she noticed one file name that she remembered doing that to... She undid it (by hand),.... and Ta da! All fixed!

I'm using Windows XP, I installed, Spybot Search and Destroy and Spyware Blaster (basically completed all 5 steps).
The problem that I'm having is that my computer takes forever to turn on. Then there are alot of error messages (windows has encountered a problem in " " program and has to close), there are about 20 of these messages, all referring to windows/system32/XXXX.exe where xxxx are all different program files. Most of this started when my kids were playing an online game called Maple story (from Nexon) and a game called Banned story. I've also deleted a program called Absolute start up (that still seems to be lingering, as well as AOL instant messaging (aol always gives me problems). Also hard to get rid of is Spyware bot (as opposed to Spybot search and destroy). Previous to this mess that you see in my log, I ran my Mcafee virus scan and detected (& removed) several viruses (trojans, worms). I hope you can help me clean my mess!

From the Desktop B (XP Professional SP2), when attempting to chose the option :A network printer, or a printer attached to another computer Click to expand...

, to add a shared printer , I can browse and see the printers name (hp and Samsung), however, when I attempt toconnect both of them, I get the following error: cannot connect to the printer operation could not be completed errorClick to expand...

Do I need to have admin account with their passwords on both Desktop to be able to share the printers ?

I've run it every Sunday afternoon since June of 2012 and never got the message before.edit: Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Users\Joseph T. Adinolf\Contacts. ErrorThe system cannot find the file specified. (0x80070002))

Am I just wasting my time?

Using an external hard drive.

I would appreciate your comments.

A:Backup completed but some files were skipped

Hello Joseph,

This error means that one or more folders that you selected to be included when you setup Windows Backup is no longer available to be backed up. Thus, it was skipped while backing up the others.

You can use step 4 in the tutorial below to "Change settings" in your Windows Backup to uncheck any included (checked) folders that have been deleted or moved.

I have followed the steps outlined in the Malware Prep Guide. I was able to run both the DDS and GMER scans. The GMER scan completed with the message 'Warning, GMER has found system modification caused by ROOTKIT activity'.

FYI, I was unable to run Defogger - after downloading, received the message 'unable to open file'. I'm not exactly sure what disk emulation software is, but I am pretty sure that I have never intentionally loaded any.

I appreciate your time and support. One thing I have not found on the site is info on what this virus maybe doing while living on my machine. Is it safe to use IE? I'm avoiding important and high-risk things like banking and other financial transactions. Are there other risks?

I am in the process of repairing a clients Win7 Home Premium SP1 PC, initial complaint "PC hangs on windows boot screen". After confirming not boot I was able to boot to safe mode and reviewed the error logs. With nothing jumping out immediately as a problem I began to suspect malware and began a run of malwarebytes which hung halfway through requiring a hard reboot.

Following hard reboot it would now not boot at all. Running a pre-startup drive scan found a faulty data HDD, removed and was able to boot only to "last known good config". Once booted I noticed three separate AV's installed and removed the free versions and rebooted. PC still was chugging along and look at running processes revealed Bit Defender AV pegging CPU at 100% with nothing apparent running. Uninstalled Bit Defender and several apps that were clearly adware that had been installed.

After another reboot began a sweep with CCleaner for good measure an app popped up an installer that force installed "Free Ride Games". After several attempts was able to uninstall using Revo, however malware not clearly suspected. Thus I downloaded Combofix and began run. It has not been stuck at "Completed step_50" for about 2 hours. I can hear (and see) continue drive activity and I am unclear if i should simply let it continue or stop Combofix and try an alternate route pending input and instructs from the talented BleepingComputer Community/Folks?!

A:Combofix Stuck At "Completed Stage_50"

I would wait as you know stopping combofix can damage the machine more. if the HDD indicator is flashing its probobly still working its majic. I had one machine that hung for over an hour but never as long as two hours so that is slightly concerning. With all the issues you mentioned in your post i would probobly consider rebuilding the machine if combofix fails.

McAfee ActiveShield has detected a virus on your computer. We recommend that you use the Scan feature to scan all the drives of your computer for viruses.After I press OK, no change for the stucked screen at all, but wait about 2 minutes, the above message box showing again.

I am using outlook 2003 with an exchange server. I use my task list as a todo list. When I mark something as complete I see it has a strike through. The next day I come to my computer and the item that I checked of and had a strike through is gone. Does any body know where this went? I would like to keep these items as a reminder for when I fill out my timesheet.

I am really liking the expanded "notifications" section of Windows 10. Is there anything out there that allows for you to get OS operation notification E.G. File copy completed notification, and so on. It looks like right now it is only based on if the installed app supports it. I do a ton of file copying and moving and it would be nice to get it popping up and dinging saying it has completed.

I am trying to install win2k from CD on an older machine that once had windows installed. I have formatted and partitioned the drive and is recognized during setup. The setup displays that it has completed and needs to reboot but when the pc comes back the setup process starts over again from the beginning, wants to format the same drive, and states the format will delete a found windows folder on that drive. I have no other option but to format or cancel the install.

A:Win2K setup is shown to have completed but has not

It sound like it is booting back into the CD. After setup has been completed remove CD.

I am running windows vista and a couple months back I got the Antivirus Action and used the guides here to rid the problem successfully. Twice. Thanks for the guides.

I got Antivirus Scan now and I went through the steps in the guide for this issue. Unfortunately I am still infected. I have tried the process again, however RKill and MBAM find nothing. I am able to run in Safe Mode (which I am doing now). When I first start safe mode Firefox does not attempt to use the proxy (and does not need the setting changed) IE does still require the proxy fix.

or this psu(with my old case):60 poundthis would drive the total to 540 quid.

Overall=523 pound.

Will this all work together?Is it good enough to be a gaming pc on Vista?All components ok?Unfortunately, i have a budget of 500 quid, which was broken a bit by Vista, so cant break it any furtherThanksMrRandomer

A:Completed Idea for a rig. Comments and Ratings please?

that's one heavy computer... (just kidding)... I can't comment on the price, but the only think you listed that may not "work together" because it's often overlooked is the power supply. You didn't say which one you are using, but cheap power supplies and often those included with cases will not work with high-power systems (core 2 duo + 3870), even though the power supply may advertise high power ratings.
